Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of card dealing equipment technology, and in particular to a card shuffling anti-collision device, a card dealing machine, and an integrated card shuffling and dealing machine. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, entertainment options are becoming increasingly diverse. Card games, as a traditional and popular form of leisure and entertainment, are loved by a wide range of users. In actual gameplay, the cards are usually reshuffled after each round to start a new game. However, frequent manual shuffling and dealing are not only time-consuming and laborious but can also affect the player's gaming experience and continuity. To improve game efficiency and enhance entertainment, automated card shuffling and dealing systems have gradually emerged on the market, widely used in card rooms and home entertainment venues.

[0003] Existing card shuffling machines and integrated card shuffling and dealing machines typically have two card receiving plates arranged opposite each other. Each card receiving plate is equipped with a corresponding shuffling wheel. When the shuffling wheel is driven by the corresponding motor to distribute the cards from different card receiving plates to the card bin, the cards from different card receiving plates will collide directly when entering the card bin. As a result, the edges and surfaces of the cards are more prone to wear and tear such as creases, curled corners, and scratches due to repeated collisions.

[0004] Therefore, a card dealing machine and a shuffling and dealing integrated machine that can effectively prevent direct collisions between cards from different card holders when they are fed into the card storage needs to be designed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a shuffling anti-collision device to address the defects and deficiencies of the existing technology, and to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems. It has the advantage of preventing direct collisions between cards from different card holders when they are fed into the card storage.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a shuffling anti-collision device, comprising:

[0007] The housing has a card compartment for accommodating the cards, and a card retrieval opening is provided on one side of the card compartment;

[0010] A shuffling mechanism, installed on the card holder plate, is used to send the cards on the card holder plate into the card storage through the shuffling channel;

[0011] A flexible cushioning component is disposed at the bottom of the cover and extends toward the bottom of the card compartment;

[0012] In the process of the card holders on both sides of the card holder being sent into the card holder through the shuffling channel by the shuffling mechanism, the cards will first come into contact with the flexible buffer component, thereby playing a buffering and guiding role and avoiding direct collisions between cards from different card holders when they enter the card holder.

[0013] Optionally, the flexible buffer assembly includes a mounting portion and a buffer portion connected to the mounting portion.

[0014] Optionally, the buffer section is a brush formed by combining multiple flexible bristles.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8This utility model provides a card shuffling anti-collision device, including: a housing 100, at least two card-receiving plates 103, a cover 104, a card shuffling mechanism 106, and a flexible buffer assembly 200; wherein, it has a card compartment 101 for accommodating cards, and a card retrieval port 102 is provided on one side of the card compartment 101. Specifically, the housing 100 can be made of plastic or metal material. The card compartment 101 refers to the area inside the housing 100 used to centrally store cards, which can be realized by a rectangular space enclosed by the inner wall of the housing 100. An opening is provided on its side as a channel for retrieving cards. The card-receiving plates 103 refer to the support structure for temporarily placing cards to be shuffled, which can be realized by a flat metal plate or plastic plate, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the card compartment 101 to separate different batches of cards. The card shuffling channel 105 refers to the card movement path connecting the card-receiving plates 103 and the card compartment 101, which can be realized by the gap space between the card-receiving plates 103 and the cover 104, used to guide the cards from the card-receiving plates 103. Upon entering the card compartment 101, the shuffling mechanism 106 refers to the mechanical component that drives the cards to move. Specifically, it can be implemented using a combination of rotating rollers and a motor. Through friction, the cards on the card holder 103 are pushed to the shuffling channel 105. The shuffling mechanism 106 is existing technology, and for details, please refer to the Chinese utility model patent with announcement number "CN222056316U" entitled "A Shuffling Machine". It will not be elaborated on here. The flexible buffer component 200 refers to the elastic structure set at the bottom of the cover 104 and extending to the card compartment 101. Specifically, it can be implemented using a combination of flexible bristles or flexible components such as silicone rollers. The flexible buffer component 200 avoids direct collisions between cards on different card holders 103 when they enter the card compartment 101. It absorbs the impact force when the cards move through deformation, thereby reducing damage to the cards and increasing their service life. Furthermore, the extended structure of the buffer component can also guide the cards into the card compartment 101 along a predetermined path to achieve orderly stacking of the cards. Furthermore, the cards are preferably playing cards.

[0040] Reference Figures 5 to 8 This application further proposes that a mounting post 300 is provided inside the cover 104, the mounting post 300 extends to the bottom of the cover 104, and a mounting hole group 301 penetrating the bottom of the cover 104 is provided at the bottom of the mounting post 300, and the flexible buffer component 200 is disposed in the mounting hole group 301.

[0041] The mounting post 300 is disposed inside the cover 104 and extends downward to the bottom region. The mounting hole group 301 consists of an assembly hole 302 opened at the upper part of the mounting post 300 and a clearance hole 303 that connects to the assembly hole 302 and penetrates the bottom of the cover 104. The diameter of the assembly hole 302 gradually decreases from top to bottom, while the diameter of the clearance hole 303 gradually increases from top to bottom. The flexible buffer assembly 200 includes a mounting part 201 and a buffer part 202. The mounting part 201 adopts a frustum-shaped structure that matches the shape of the assembly hole 302 and is embedded in the assembly hole 302 by an interference fit, so that the outer wall of the mounting part 201 forms a surface contact with the inner wall of the assembly hole 302. The mounting part 201 is made of flexible material, and its top diameter is larger than the inlet diameter of the assembly hole 302. The buffer part 202 is composed of multiple flexible bristles and extends downward into the card compartment 101. The bristles can be made of nylon material. In this embodiment, the mounting part 201 is provided with a mounting groove, and one end of the bristle is fixed in the mounting groove.

[0042] Specifically, the mounting post 300, as a rigid support structure, is integrally formed with the cover 104, and its extension direction is perpendicular to the bottom plane of the cover 104. The tapered structure of the mounting hole 302, which is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, creates a radial constraint force on the mounting part 201, while the tapered structure of the clearance hole 303, which is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, provides movement space for the buffer part 202. The mounting part 201 forms surface contact with the inner wall of the mounting hole 302 through its frustum-shaped structure, and is limited in the vertical direction by the tapered sidewall of the mounting hole 302, and is circumferentially constrained in the horizontal direction by the hole wall. When the buffer part 202 extends downward through the relief hole 303, the flared structure of the relief hole 303 avoids affecting the bristles. Furthermore, when the card body contacts the buffer part 202, the buffer part 202 forms an inclined angle with the movement trajectory of the card body to disperse the impact force. The mounting part 201 remains fixed in the conical hole. The buffer part 202 can bend and swing along the axial direction of the relief hole 303, thereby realizing the dual functions of dynamic buffering and static fixation. In this embodiment, the mounting hole 302 is inverted conical in shape, and the relief hole 303 is conical in shape.

[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 8 This application further proposes that there are two flexible buffer components 200, which are disposed opposite to each other at the bottom of the cover 104 and between the two shuffling channels 105.

[0044] Two flexible buffer components 200 are symmetrically distributed on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the cover 104, respectively, and their installation positions correspond to the area between the two shuffling channels 105. Each flexible buffer component 200 consists of a mounting part 201 and a buffer part 202. The mounting part 201 is fixed in the mounting hole group 301 at the bottom of the cover 104 by a snap-fit ​​method, and the buffer part 202 consists of multiple flexible bristles that extend downward to the card compartment 101. The buffer parts 202 of the two flexible buffer components 200 form a buffer area above the card compartment 101.

[0045] Specifically, when the cards from the left and right shuffling channels 105 enter the card chamber 101, the cards come into contact with the buffer section 202. The flexible bristles absorb the impact force through deformation, while simultaneously guiding the cards into the card chamber 101. Due to the symmetrical arrangement of the two flexible buffer components 200, the front and rear ends of the cards are effectively buffered.

[0046] The anti-collision device for shuffling cards in this embodiment can be applied to existing card dealing machines and integrated card dealing machines, such as the Chinese utility model patent with announcement number "CN222056316U" entitled "A kind of shuffling machine" and the Chinese utility model patent with announcement number "CN220443168U" entitled "A kind of split-type shuffling and dealing machine", and other existing technologies.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the substance of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
